Owner of the war guild HackForums from its creation on 24 December 2014, presiding over its 2016-17 territorial hegemony of up to roughly 350 territories.
TheDarkSoul owned the guild HackForums [Hax]. The guild's recruitment thread carried the same line for years: "Active Guild Since: 12/24/14 - Owner: TheDarkSoul"[1], and described the guild plainly: "This is a war guild, guild wars are expected of you upon joining."[2] Day-to-day forum-keeping fell to officers such as Mrussell75 and Christinel8[3]; TheDarkSoul himself wrote almost nothing in public.
Under his ownership HackForums became the dominant territorial power of the pre-Coalition era. On 23 September 2016 Hax held 146 of roughly 332 territories, far ahead of any rival[4]; a March 2017 complaint thread put its holdings at "100+ territories"[5]; by May 2017 it held more than 300[6]; and in 2020 Lego_DW placed the peak "closer to 350"[7]. The hegemony ended in the Coalition-era wars of late 2017 and the wipe of HackForums in February 2018.
When, or whether, his ownership ended was never recorded.
